Ah, that works fine, and is nice and simple.  So problem solved, thank
you!

I do still wonder though, with the C symbol made visible in utils.so,
how come this still failed?:

   .External("readtablehead", ..., PACKAGE="utils") 
   Error: "readtablehead" not available for .External() for package "utils"
